Overview
Framework Awards to the Framework for Provision of Enhanced Residential Services for (Primarily) Working Age Adults with Disabilities and/or Mental Health Needs. Any further providers added to the Framework will be updated and advertised on the Cumberland Council Webpage, following the link below: https://www.cumberland.gov.uk/framework-enhancedresidential The are two Lots (1 & 2).
All providers who join the Framework will join under Lot 1 and will automatically be eligible for Lot 2. Providers can only join Lot 2 by being eligible and successful to join Lot 1.
Lot 2 – Bespoke Services Should the Council wish to procure a bespoke service it will follow the mini competition process as outlined in the Award Process Schedule 2 of the contract. For the avoidance of doubt the Council will not be obliged to commission any services under Lot 2.
Key points
- Answer ‘yes’ to the two qualifying statements on the ‘Instructions’ tab of Schedule 3a (Providers Tender Submission). Providers who answer ‘no’ will be rejected and should not proceed with their tender.
- Completion of the following tabs with the providers information:
- Provider & Home Details (will be used to create a catalogue of providers and to create a Provider profile on the Council’s web pages)
- Support Offer (will be used to create a catalogue of providers)
- Home Staffing & Costing Form
- Answer 2 Social Value Questions so that a Social Value KPI unique to each Provider can be created. Where a Provider has answered ‘Yes’ to the qualifying statements (Instructions tab) and has fully completed each respective tab on Schedule 3a, and the information it has given supports the Providers application and price, the Provider will be successful in their application to this Framework. This means that:
- The Provider and Home details are completed fully for each home and are correct (at the time of applying)
- The Providers Support Offer is completed fully for each home and is agreed as correct (at the time of applying) by Social Workers.
- The Providers Home Staffing & Costing Form is completed fully for each home and the information given supports the Providers price (at the time of applying)
- Both Social Value questions have been answered within the word count and the answers include clear objectives for consideration by the Council that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable and Realistic within a specified Time frame (SMART) Where a Provider fails to complete the tender as required by the Council (as outlined above), clarification will be sought on any errors or omissions, unless the Provider has answered ‘No’ to the two qualifying statements on the ‘Instructions’ tab of Schedule 3a. Where a Provider answers ‘No’ to these statements their bid will be rejected. If the Council is not satisfied with the information provided after clarification has been sought from the Provider on any errors or omissions it may choose to clarify further or to reject a bid. The number of clarifications sought will be at the Councils discretion. Providers should note that if multiple clarifications are requested by the Council, this will delay the Providers application to the Framework.
